REHOVOT, Israel, Nov. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CollPlant Biotechnologies (NASDAQ: CLGN), a regenerative and aesthetic medicine company developing innovative technologies and products for tissue regeneration and organ manufacturing, today announced business updates and financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

"The recent commercial launch of Collink.3D represents an important inflection point for CollPlant in its efforts to become a market leader in the field of regenerative medicine. Our unique rhCollagen-based BioInk is differentiated from other commercial bioinks by its bio-functionality, homogeneity, and increased safety profile" said Yehiel Tal, CollPlant's Chief Executive Officer. "Collink.3D, our first commercially available bioink, marks the continuation of the strong momentum and market validation we are seeing with our rhCollagen platform as exemplified by our co-development agreements with Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, and 3D Systems earlier in the year."

 Recent Corporate Highlights

  • In November 2021, CollPlant announced the commercial launch of a BioInk platform with Collink.3DTM for use in 3D bioprinting of human tissues, scaffolds and organs. Made from truly human collagen in plants, Collink.3D enables the production of scaffolds that accurately mimic the physical properties of human tissues and organs, with improved bio-functionality, safety and reproducibility. Biofabricated constructs using Collink.3D can be used in a variety of applications including drug discovery, drug screening, tissue testing as well as development and manufacturing of transplantable tissues, scaffolds and organs, representing a potential multi-billion dollar market opportunity.
  • Continued to advance ongoing commercial partnership agreements signed earlier this year with both Allergan Aesthetics, and 3D Systems. The Company is working with Allergan to develop and commercialize dermal and soft tissue fillers for the medical aesthetics market as well as potentially other aesthetic products. CollPlant also continues to move forward with its co-development agreement with 3D Systems for a 3D bioprinted regenerative tissue matrix for use in breast reconstruction procedures in combination with an implant. The soft tissue matrix is intended to support the lower portion of the breast while expanding the implant pocket and providing increased coverage of the implant.
  • Collaborated with researchers from Israel's Technion Institute of Technology to use CollPlant's rh-Collagen-based Bioink to create a 3D bioprinted implantable tissue containing a network of blood vessels capable of supplying blood to implanted tissue. The ability to create vascularized tissue constructs using human collagen from modified plants rather than animal collagen is a promising step towards development of fully lab-grown implantable tissues.
  • CEO Yehiel Tal was elected to the Board of Directors of the International Society for Biofabrication (ISBF), in recognition of his deep involvement, experience and understanding of the 3D bioprinting industry.

Third Quarter Financial Results

GAAP revenue for the third quarter was $140,000, and included mainly income from the collaboration with Allergan Aesthetics on the development of dermal and soft tissue fillers. Revenues decreased by $4.0 million compared to $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2020 which mainly derived from the exercise of a license option by United Therapeutics in 2020.

GAAP gross loss in the third quarter of 2021 was $2,000, compared to gross profit of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2020.

GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 increased to $3.1 million, compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2020.

On a non-GAAP basis, the operating expenses for the third quarter were $2.7 million, compared to $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP measures exclude certain non-cash expenses.

GAAP operating loss for the third quarter was $3.1 million, compared to an operating income of $734,000 in the third quarter of 2020.

GAAP financial income, net for the third quarter totaled $17,000 compared to financial expenses, net of $31,000 in third quarter of 2020. Financial income, net is mainly attributed to interest received from the Company's short term cash deposits.

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $3.1 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to a net income of $703,000, or $0.10 per share, for the third quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP measures exclude certain non-cash expenses.

GAAP operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $3.9 million, compared to an operating loss of $2.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in profitability is derived from the $14 million upfront payment received from AbbVie, as part of the co-development and commercialization agreement.

GAAP financial income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $140,000 compared to a financial income, net of $17,000 in nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in financial income, net is mainly due to interest received from the Company's short term cash deposits.

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $21.1 million compared to $378,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is mainly attributed to investment in short term cash deposits.

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $38.6 million compared to cash provided in financing activities of $4.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is attributed to the Company's registered direct offering in February 2021, which amounted to $32 million in net proceeds and $5.7 million from the exercise of warrants.
